Dear All, among advertised advantages of TeX there used to be "optical scaling", when text in the same font but in different sizes has different shapes of glyphs. That used to be the feature of metafont fonts and derived PostScript ones (like cm-super). But it seems now, with TeX Gyre becoming the default free fonts set, it seems the idea is dropped. Is it really so or one just needs some commercial OpenType font family to use it (Adobe Opticals)? Sincerely, Michail
